Are those the polished wheels? If so, they really look nice as far as any clouding or anything.

Anyone??

Not to take anything away from the rest of the car, but this pic really says it all for this car. I'm impressed by the changes made here...still could be enhanced a little more

[can you maybe open up the rear hatch and get a direct pic of the center console please?]

I too agree...looks great! One question, I notice that the seat stiching is still red...is the center stiching white?

Thats what I have been trying to find out. If it is white as it looks, I guess it will have to go aftermarket. I don't know why they would'nt have made it red to match the rest of the interior though for this model.

Sweet!

Looks like it could stand to be lowered a little, Loyd mats installed and don' forget a Valentine V-1. You'll need it.

I miss that smell. The new tire smell, the leather (easily fixed with Zaino's leather care) and the pure, untouched paint!

Don't forget. Get Zaino on it soon. Will protect your paint beyond anything else.

Have fun! Report back!

Chrome, although hard to tell in the picture.
